The Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is announcing a significant expansion of its Mega Construction Project Program to ensure that federal construction contractors and subcontractors—companies that receive taxpayers’ dollars to construct buildings, highways and other federally funded or federally assisted projects—make job opportunities in the construction trades available to applicants and employees regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.
For the first time, OFCCP is making strategic investment of agency resources at all levels (national and regional) to ensure that the nation’s largest construction projects can make a real difference in employment opportunities for the thousands of women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans who have the qualifications, experience and determination to work on large, federally funded or federally assisted construction projects in their communities.
